Tires Pirelli or OEM Subaru
Pirelli Scorpion AS3. They’re so quiet.
Today I had a 600 km trip in -6*C, half of the way I used chill mode, tried to keep constant speed 100 km/h (winter tires Sottozero 3, 18\u201d without aero) and I got 175Wh/km. After charging I switched to Normal and continued my trip: average consumption kept floating near 178, I switched to Chill and saw how it slowly decreased to 169Wh/km.
We replaced the OEM Bridgestone with Pirelli Scorpion A/S 3. They are very quiet and smooth riding. I can highly recommend them.
the two tires people keep circling back to are Michelin Defender 2 (for max longevity + quiet ride) and Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive (for folks who want legit wet/snow grip without going full winter tire). Both feel noticeably better than the OEM rubber Mazda ships these with less thump over expansion joints and far more planted in rain.
I took a mini ski vacation and on my way home last night it was snowing pretty hard. I picked up a '25 GLE 450e in June so this was my first real snow test with it. Since its a lease I'm not going to invest in winter tires and was curious how the 21" staggered Pirelli Scorpions Zero's would do. For an all-season tire it did all I wanted. I wasn't doing 70 but 40-50 mph was very comfortable. Visibility was bad for all of the 170mi ride home limiting what I was willing to do. The other plus I averaged 37mpg.
I have a set of 20” scorpion MS but in 275 format because i like the extra width for alottle more braking improvement. The MS doesnt have 3 peak designation though so no good for europe winter.(im in UK so doesnt bother me)
Pirelli Pzero all season, fiind cauciucurile puse pe masina din fabrica, din 2021, schimbate cu acelasi brand la 85000 anul asta, dar parca ultimii 5000-10000 am cam tras de ele :))
I can vouch for the author's post. I work at a Hyundai dealership We've been having nothing but problems with Pirelli tires on these new Santa fes and Palisades.... Some will fail after 3,000 km some will fail after 10,000 km all with the same symptoms like the OP post bubbling sidewalls No there was no impact no damage done to rim nothing We've even had instances where these tires have been separating from the inside out the sound depth and foam will be losing its glue on the inside of the tire and come loose while driving cause some massive vibrations
Apparently there are Balancing issues with Pirelli tires. I had Pirelli Scorpions and could never get them right with 3 tire shops.
I have been looking for replacements for the awful Pirellis (on 22s). I’m on my second set - and the rain we’ve have in New England would get the Rivian hydroplaning where I’d never had that issue with my old Lexus GX with Michelin’s.
